The Unfair Advantage: How You Already Have What It Takes to Succeed

Written by Ash Ali and Hasan Kubba

Narrated by Ash Ali, Hasan Kubba and Raj Ghatak

The winner of the UK's Business Book of the Year Award for 2021, this is a groundbreaking exposé of the myths behind startup success and a blueprint for harnessing the things that really matter.

What is the difference between a startup that makes it, and one that crashes and burns? Behind every story of success is an unfair advantage.

But an Unfair Advantage is not just about your parents' wealth or who you know: anyone can have one. An Unfair Advantage is the element that gives you an edge over your competition.

This groundbreaking audiobook shows how to identify your own Unfair Advantages and apply them to any project. Drawing on over two decades of hands-on experience, Ash Ali and Hasan Kubba offer a unique framework for assessing your external circumstances in addition to your internal strengths. Hard work and grit aren't enough, so they explore the importance of money, intelligence, location, education, expertise, status, and luck in the journey to success. From starting your company, to gaining traction, raising funds, and growth hacking, The Unfair Advantage helps you look at yourself and find the ingredients you didn't realize you already had, to succeed in the cut-throat world of business.

Reviews for The Unfair Advantage

[Christopher Bradley · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Wow, simple and clear-cut. I viewed the term "luck" as grace simply because i believe nothing is an accident or by chance but very well written.

[David Kestler · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book, like Napoleon Hill book, Think and Grow Rich is a book that reading or listening to it just one time will not do one justice . There is a wealth of ideas to put into practice inside the pages.

I listen to audio books on self improvement, business, anything that will move me forward on my journey through life. I am so grateful for the Scribd app and audio books that I can listen to while driving to work and home and while at work doing neck down jobs that do not require my full mental abilities.

The Unfair Advantage is a book that like the bible needs to be ready more than once a year, and throughout life in my opinion.

Thank you for writing this book and getting it into audio format, I love filling my mind with good things and ideas!

You Rock,

The Zam Man.
